The average estimated annual tuna landings during 1995 -2004 along the mainland coast of India was 40,292 t comprising species such as Euthynnus affinis, Auxis thazard, A.rochei, Katsuwonus pelamis, Thunnus tonggol and T .albacares. Regionwise production indicated the southwest coast accounted for nearly 48 % of the tunas followed by the northwest (27 %), southeast (24 %) and northeast (1 %) coasts.
